Volvo S80 vs Mercedes E220 vs Audi A6 vs BMW 525d
You've probably seen dozens of these Comparison test where the three top German luxury car makers try to top the list, but here we have the Swedish American under dog trying to join the club.
So, only one question needs to be answered: does the latest S80 have what it takes to steal sales from its German competitors? To find out, we test the newcomer against the 5-Series, A6 and E-Class, all in their most popular guises – powered by mainstream diesel engines and in mid-range trim.
Well you can head over to AutoExpress and see the results, but here is what is most important for us.
A refined powerplant, comfortable cabin and smooth ride mean the Mercedes E220 CDI is the best model here on the road. But two factors caused it to finish second – it's expensive to buy and costly to run. So once again, the BMW 5-Series clings on to victory by the skin of its teeth.

See where the S80 landed
